I i Laughing Around the World With irvin s. COBB Corroboration From On High By IRVIN S. COBB LITTLE Florence was inclined to over-exaggeration; also she was overly timid in some regards. Her mother was striving to rid her of both faults to inculcate in her a strict regard for the absolute truth and to cure her of all fear of things in wnicn there was no real danger. i ipojgi.- One afternoon Florence was playing in the front yard. A fox terrier belonging to a neighbor, darted at her playfully. With a shriek of fright Florence fled indoors and never stopped running until she had reached the room upstairs where her mother sat. 'What's the matter?" asked Mrs. Marshaa. "Mamma," said Florence, "a great big bear came through a cra.K in the fence and chased me in the house; he almost caught me, too." "Florence," said the mother sternly, "aren't you ashamed of your self to be so frightened of Mr. James' little pet dog and then to tell a deliberate falsehood? I was sitting here s.t the window and I saw the whole thing. Now I'm going to punish yoa. You go in your own room and get down on your knees and confess to the Lord that you're a naughty little girl and that you told your mother a deliberate lie. I want you to stay there, too, until you feel sure that you have obtained for giveness for your sin and until you are sure that you can be better in the future." The sunshine outside was alluring and there was mud-pie in a half finished state in the yard. Florence reluctantly withdrew herself to trie privacy of the nursery. In a surprisingly short time she opened the door and poked her head out. ' "It's all right, mother," she said. "I told God all about it and he says he didn't blame me a bit. He thought it was a Lear, too, when he first saw it." , v (American News Features, Inc. moved to Louisville, where could be nearer the other of folks. she the Soil Conservation Meeting There was a meeting at the Mod- 1 cm Woodman hall last Wednesday, ! attended by a laru;e number of the juiruic rs of this community, at which i the soil conservation program of the j government was explained in detail, j Among those here to explain the i various regulations of this voluntary movement and the benents to be ue rived therefrom were J.
